Using "indirect rendering" option for compiz solves this memory leak.
1. Press ALT+F2 and type: gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz or open your console and type: sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz 2. At line 74 (or round 74) edit the line : COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--ignore-desktop-hints --replace" and changed it into: COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering" After this there was no compiz memory leak. The compiz bug report mentions that with "indirect rendering" enabled, there is another problem, like a bug in rendering transparent windows, but that bug does not appear at my system. All this is done in combination with xf86-video-intel 2.7.99.1+git2009 from https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and all the other updates from that repository (mesa, dri2 etc.) and also kernel 2.6.30. -- [Jaunty][UXA]compiz.real memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
